| - I'm sort of cross-posting this as an update because I hired the Taco & Dilla Parlor's United Lunchadores Street Gourmet food truck to cater my wife's surprise 50th birthday party at our home this past Saturday evening. Yes, you can get their delicious food catered right to your party!
To summarize the experience and the food: TOP NOTCH IN EVERY IMAGINABLE WAY. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THANK YOU FOR HELPING MAKE MY WIFE'S 50th BIRTHDAY AWESOME!!!!!!!
I expected perfection from these guys and they totally delivered on my expectations.
Their clean art-deco paintjob truck arrived about an hour and a half early to begin their prep. The point person Jerren was professional, courteous and did a great job representing the business. In fact, ALL of the guys were friendly and accommodating. They set up in front of the house, put out a stand-up menu board and table on the sidewalk with a utensil station, and they provided napkins and dinnerware etc. They provided their own electricity and literally made it so that I did not have to do any work to prepare.
As part of the catering arrangement, I preselected the Thai'd Up, Steak & Bleu and Papa Verde 'dillas along with the Citrus Chicken tacos and Carnitas tacos as the entree items for the evening. I also selected the churros as a desert and a couple of flavors of their handcrafted Agua Frescas (drinks).
On schedule, they began taking orders and promptly delivering food to our guests. The feedback on the tacos and 'dillas was universally positive with the standout being the Steak & Blu 'dilla (see below description of each menu item along with guest feedback). On top of everything, the guys put big "5" and "0" candles in a giant platter of their churros and delivered them into the house while everyone sang happy birthday to my wife! This was really just an over the top great thing for them to do! Everyone RAVED about the food. The compliments I received proved I made the right decision by hiring United Lunchadores. But the most important part was the feedback from my wife. It was her surprise party, after all, and she was ecstatic! She said that food really hit the spot and that she never would have thought of hiring a food truck for such a function.
Well, now we (and you) know, that this is a great way to go if you want to provide delicious food at a reasonable cost without all the associated work!
From the beginning of the booking process with Jony to the end of the evening when Jerren discreetly settled up with me so that I didn't have to deal with any of the "business" stuff in front of my guests, this was a smooth, easy (and delicious) process. I cannot possibly recommend Gypsy Restaurant Group and United Lunchadores Street Gourmet enough.
Here are the menu items I preselected and paid for so that our guests only needed to tip on their own at time of service:
-Thai'd Up 'dillas with grilled chicken, serrano peppers, onions, sweet Thai Sauce and Jack cheese (my personal favorite)
-Steak & Bleu 'dillas with Carne Asada, pico de gallo, Blue + Jack cheeses (the fan favorite at our party)
-Papa Verde 'dillas with potatoes, diced green chiles, pico de gallo and jack cheese (my wife's favorite at our party and a great vegetarian option)
-Citrus Chicken tacos and Carnitas tacos both garnished with cilantro, onions and lime wedge (taco eaters got one of each and said they were both amazing and easy to handle because of their size)
-Cajeta filled churros with berry dipping sauce (guests said these were the best churros they ever had)
-Handcrafted Tiger's Blood and Mango Orange Aqua Frescas (feedback was that these were delicious and many guests were bringing them into our home's bar and mixing them with tequila, flavored rum or vodka)
